Food Bank

As one part of our vision to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ, in showing mercy within our Square Mile, DBC is running a foodbank to serve Dorchester and the surrounding area.

Dorchester’s Foodbank has been set up to provide in-date, non-perishable basic food to those struggling financially and unable to feed themselves or their family.

Dorchester’s Foodbank is funded by donations of food from various churches, schools, and people in and around Dorchester, with some gifts of money from individuals and from the church itself.

In 2009, Dorchester Baptist Church set up a foodbank for people in financial crisis, and joined the growing number of foodbanks run by churches and charities throughout the UK. Wherever these have been set up they have revealed a hidden need, and there is clear evidence now that Dorchester is no different.
